The price of gold is expected to break through the market. The key data of the United States are expected tonight, and the price of gold is basically flat on Wednesday. The market expects the key inflation data of the United States, which may affect the general expectation of interest rate cuts and provide more clues for the outlook in 2025. Rhona O‘Connell, an analyst at StoneX, said that the market is concerned about the upcoming inflation data and will pay attention to President Powell's post-meeting comments next week for further policy insights. O' Connell added that the price of gold was once stagnant but showing signs of recovery. The recent rebound was driven by geopolitical risks, and the price of gold reached the upper limit of the range, but did not break through the high point. Kyle Rodda, a financial market analyst in Capital.com, said: "The expected data almost gives the Fed a green light to cut interest rates next week, which may be a gold price catalyst." Goldman Sachs said that the main downside risk of predicting that gold will be $3,000 per ounce by the end of 2025 is that the Fed will cut interest rates, not that the dollar will strengthen. Goldman Sachs predicts: "If the Fed cuts interest rates again, the price of gold will rise to $2,890 per ounce."It is reported that the Bank of Japan thinks that it is no harm to raise interest rates later, but it does not rule out taking action in December. On December 11th, according to informed sources, officials of the Bank of Japan believe that it is not costly to raise interest rates later, and they are still open to taking action next week, depending on data and market trends. The authorities believe that even if the Bank of Japan decides to wait until January or later, it will not pay a huge price, because there are signs that there is little risk that inflation may exceed the target. They also said that if the December meeting proposed to raise interest rates, some officials would not object. According to people familiar with the matter, officials think it is only a matter of time to raise interest rates again, because the economy and inflation are in line with their forecasts. Before announcing the policy decision on December 19, officials will carefully evaluate the data and financial markets before making a final decision.The public security organs cracked down on the illegal and criminal activities of the network water army according to law.
